Memories.

Rainbow Valley is a documentary about Prince Edward Island’s favourite amusement park. The Davison family opened Rainbow Valley in 1969 with the goal of providing Island families with an oasis of affordable family fun. Thirty-six years later it closed with very little warning, leaving a hole in PEI’s landscape and in its heart. This film explores what the amusement park meant to Islanders and what it means to them almost a decade after its closure. The documentary combines film and VHS home videos with 12 interviews with people that were involved with Rainbow Valley or those whose lives have been greatly affected by the amusement park.

"BEING CANADIAN" chronicles the real-life quest of Robert Cohen, a proud Canadian, who sets off on a genuine and hilarious cross-Canada journey to prove, once and for all, that his beloved country is more than just lame stereotypes involving maple syrup and Mounties. Imagine "Sherman's March," but wearing a toque.

When I started this post it was to share Quake Matthews‘ Find A Way single but evolved into a full album review when I realized his whole 2015 album Rap Music was available to stream on SoundCloud. I discovered the album features a ridiculous amount of Halifax talent. Listen to the album below as we walk through our favorite tracks and talk about some of east coast Canada’s best up-and-coming artists...

Today’s free download comes from back home east coast Canada. Produced by our favorite hip-hop artist from the Maritimes, Classified. Lot’s of shout outs to Nova Scotia towns throughout the song including Cape Breton, New Glascow, and Whitney Pier. The video tours more places like the Halifax Harbour (spot MacKay Bridge and Georges Island), Pat and I’s university Dalhousie, Halifax Metro Centre, Dartmouth, the Cabot Trail, Truro and more. Love the line on saying “what’s up?” as you pass someone, to this day I’ll catch myself saying it in the US as I pass someone and think “that was rude” if they don’t say something back. You can download the song Down Home on SoundCloud.

It’s not often we get to post about artists we personally know. Today we have the first single off Tim Chaisson‘s new album Lost In Light. Tim is from PEI (the province in Canada Pat and I are from). The album launched October 24 in Australia and is due for release here in North America in early 2015. We’ve been to see Tim perform several times back home in both PEI and Halifax. Other tracks on the album we’re looking forward to are Bad On Me, and Cajun Moon (both of which I got to sneak peak of at a concert back home). You can follow Tim on Facebook and Twitter.

Majid Jordan, the duo comprised of Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman from Toronto, first came on the scene with their collab with Drake titled Hold On, We’re Going Home. How'd this young duo score a collab with a big name like Drake? Well besides that their both from Toronto, Majid Jordan is signed to OVO Sound, a record label co-founded by Drake. Their premier EP containing 5 tracks and is available on iTunes and Spotify. The video is created by a neat Toronto video production company called Common Good. Download: Soundcloud | iTunes | Spotify

Our free download today comes from Toronto Artist/Producer Tep No. Even before I heard he was from Toronto I thought he had a bit of a The Weeknd sound to him. Tep No gained some traction when his Promises single took off with 2800+ upvotes on Hypem and 400,000 listens when it was posted on MrSuicideSheep’s youtube channel here. He’s also got a couple video’s up on his Youtube channel. La Belle Musique tossed together some neat visuals to this single you can check out here. Shout out to Toronto native Ann Liao for tipping us off to this one on twitter. Download: Soundcloud

My fellow Canadians, you can now use Spotify! https://news.spotify.com/int/2014/09/30/hello-canada-spotify-here/ #canada (Now if we could just get Google Voice and Pandora)

In possibly their last release before their new album titled “Conversationalist” launches next week on September 9th, In-Flight Safety has posted another track; Caution Horses. We had posted about their other single Animals in early August. You can pre-order their new album on iTunes.

Is there a cooler canadian than Chris Hadfield? I think not.

Wow, so many childhood memories for anyone from PEI. Wish I had known about the indiegogo campaign, I would have donated. Looking forward to watching the full thing.

Probably one of the best segments of Dragon's Den that I've seen. This car wash entrepreneur from London, ON, hopes for getting $35,000 for 10% of his company Go Clean. Personally, I think he should have asked for more money. The product has gotten a generally great reviews, check out the comments on the episode on cbc.ca.
